ROLE DESCRIPTION
During your internship you will become a valued member of Concordis’ close-knit team, in which we rely on each member to contribute their skills to our work. We’re particularly looking for people to work on fundraising and communications.
You will work with the Director of Operations to implement communications and fundraising plans for Concordis. This will involve working with the Director of Programmes and the programme teams both in the UK and in Africa. You will help us

- generate much needed funds from private donors and grant-making trusts.
There is a great deal of flexibility needed when working for Concordis. You may be asked to work on any element of Concordis’ work. As a small team we all pitch in to do anything.
